Welcome to AllCEUs.com Please view our video site tour at http://allceus.com/welcome This answers many of our most common questions.

As an educator, mother, wife, program administrator and clinician, I understand the immense demands placed on your time and budget. I created AllCEUs.com to provide you with the most up-to-date information in an easy to access format in order to encourage you to continue learning even after you have received your CEUs for the renewal period.

In compliance with the regulations of the National Board for Certified Counselors, the Florida Certification Board, the Florida Board of Nursing and the state of Florida’s Board for Mental Health and Marriage and Family Counseling and Social Work, we are providing the following information:

MissionTo provide cost and time effective classes that enable practitioners to stay up-to-date so they can apply current research in their practices.

AllCEUs.com was created to provide busy professionals the continuing training needed to keep abreast of new developments in the field. We create 80% of our trainings from current best-practices literature or research from professional journals. By providing the information online, in .mp3 or video format and using adaptive learning quizzes, we not only appeal to a variety of learning styles, but also can meet the demands of organizations and professionals in private practice who cannot afford to take time off to go to conferences. Finally, it is our desire to increase the rate of knowledge dissemination and encourage professionals to translate research to practice.

Target AudienceThese programs are targeted to licensed mental health professionals, professional and paraprofessional addictions counselors, school counselors and nurses working with persons with mental illness or addictions.

Schedule and FormatCourses are available online 24-hours per day. Each course will consist of a text that is usually downloadable (usually in .pdf format), an adaptive learning quiz to help you master the information, a course test to take when you have finished reading and studying the material and, on course longer than 4 hours, a video, outline and/or a PowerPoint. The videos, PowerPoints, outlines and .mp3 files are designed for you to use as study aids, not as replacements for reading the material. We guarantee that there will be at least one medical errors, one 4 hour HIV course, one course on domestic violence and one course on ethics.

FeesAll online material, quizzes and certificates are included. A few courses have recommended texts, but those are optional. Fees are subject to change without notice. Current subscribers may receive coupons via email prior to their renewal. This program provides you with unlimited access to CEUs for a flat annual rate. There is a $5 per certificate fee for fixing certificates that have incorrect information because you failed to update your profile, or for us emailing you a copy of your certificate because you failed to save a copy on your computer and your subscription lapsed. Instructions for updating your profile can be found in the video site tour . http://allceus.com/Intro.html The only way information can be added to your certificate and uploaded to CE broker correctly is through an accurate profile.

Accounts are periodically audited to ensure people are not sharing accounts. If multiple people have been issued certificates from a single account, it will immediately be shut down and you will be billed at the rate of $8 per credit hour for every CEU not issued to the original subscriber. See “Legal Information” below for more information.

While we are very flattered when people choose to re-use our material, you are prohibited from using our presentations in any event in which you are being paid or in which you are providing continuing education credits. Free community education sessions are fine. If you wish to use our material for a fee-based class, please contact us. The fee to purchase a course is $320/credit hour.
